Product Description

The Kyocera MARBL (K127), carried by Virgin Mobile in the US market, is a compact, no-frills clamshell design that targets a youthful demographic. Though billed as “super thin” by Virgin Mobile, at 21.4mm thick the MARBL is far from being the thinnest model on the market, despite the fact that it has no external display or camera. However, the phone is aggressively priced, supports messaging (SMS, EMS, and picture messaging, together with two-way text messaging), Web access, and a full complement of personal information management tools. The MARBL’s internal display is a 65K-color STN with 128 x 128 pixels. The phone employs an embedded WAP 2.0-compliant micro-browser for Web browsing and supports the 1X RTT protocol for data transmission. The MARBL has downloadable ring tones, music, games, and wallpaper for personalization. Its two-speaker speakerphone allows hands-free operation. The MARBL is also A-GPS capable. The 3.7V, 900mAh, Li-ion battery is claimed to deliver up to 3.7 hours of talk time and 180 hours in standby.
